Happy 3/11 Day!

Post by vorpal »

To celebrate, some car buddies came by yesterday and we went over my new harness wiring on 67.5 1600 and got it fired up for the first time in 3 years!

Oil pressure good, fuel pressure good, cranked and caught, but the gas is so stale it would only run on shots of carb cleaner… lol

Headlights, front markers and fog lights work. Under dash map light works! No signals or rear lights except passenger upper rear light comes on with headlights…

Todays job, siphon and replace gas and start troubleshooting flashers and rear lights.

Cheers,
Rob

Took the Roadster to the local cars and coffee. The show had great attendance and Cole brought his '71 Z after a very long slumber. I like to share my rides with the younger generation hoping to spurn new fans, plus the parents love the photo op!
